TopicWhy would Microsoft acquire Activision just to go 3rd party?

Because they paid almost 80 billion for Activision.

Just to put that in perspective, Call of Duty is the biggest gaming franchise and makes around 400 million in revenue a year. In order for Microsoft to make that money back from Call of Duty alone it would take them around 160 years to do so.

Their game division is slipping and theyre paying a shitload on developers and studios and these studios are draining money from Microsoft.

Phil fucked up. No exclusives and buying instead of building up internal devs
